Hi Forum,
I am brand new in this forum, I am from Denmark and has just begun my venture into the electrical bike world..
I have just received a rear hub drive motor from Bafang 36v 250W, my problem is i ordered the motor as 26” and received a 20” motor in a 26” rim.
The whole plan was i was going to rip the motor out of the rim and re-lace the 26” motor into a 24” rim on my cargo bike (see the attached photo). I had specifically ordered the 26” motor since i am after torque and don’t care about top speed, the bike is going to be used for hauling kids and dogs.. on of my friends has the the set up with 26” motor in a 24” rim on the exact same bike, and i works beautiful..
But how will it work with the 20” motor the by mistake send me, the whole process of returning is troublesome Chinese shop sending through Germany..
Is the setup going to work with the 20” motor in 24” rim, will i draw too many amps, will the range suck, will i have too little assistance moving from standstill.. Etc, etc.
Hope you can help..
Kind regards
Ulrich
